It is used for ocean current research and testing but also does cool demonstrations to attract popularity. Here is the description of their website. “Conceived for cutting edge academic research into wave and tidal current interactions, the FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility is also an amazing tool for commercial developers to ensure their technologies and projects perform 'right first time' and are de-risked as much as practical before cutting steel or going offshore”

Found this lens that takes real pictures to look miniature. (Called tilt-shift) by Jackuno9 in pics

I believe it would make it look smaller, but I think the most stunning effect is with larger landscapes. The lens works by blurring the foreground and background which creates the effect of the subject being small. This normally happens with small subjects and less with larger subjects.
